Deskripsi
P. 282. ; Index p.: 287-8 ; This book telling us about Titanic, the great ship at that time. Featuring numerous archival photographs and illustrations alongside a host of illuminating sidebars, we discover that, contrary to legend, no one at the White Star Line ever called Titanic "unsinkable". This comforts aboard the ship, which contained a darkroom, gym, hospital, squash court, swimming pool, Turkish bath, wireless telegraph office, barber shops that also sold souvenirs, a printing department that issued a daily newspaper, and even a mail room staffed by five postal workers who went down with the ship, protecting the mail. From the engine room to the ballroom, this companion volume to the five-part Nat Geo documentary Rebuilding Titanic stands as a moving testament to those who designed, built, and fitted the "ship of dreams".
